Remote start questions...

[JustinMorrison]

Last year I had a Clifford Matrix remote start/alarm system installed in my 1987 560SEL. The system was installed by a Clifford certified installer and everything has worked fine from day one with one exception. When I remote start the car the climate control does not come on. As soon as I put in the key and turn it to ignition, the climate control starts. While this is not the end of the world by any means, being able to warm up/cool down the interior of the car was the whole point of getting a remote start installed.

Today (finally) I decided to look into it. This was probably not a great idea, because I really don't know these systems too well.

I found a wire coming from the alarm harness going to fuse 17 or 18 (the one that the stereo/cig lighter, etc are on) and removed it. After doing so the stereo does not come on with remote start (that's a good thing, as I have no need for music until I'm in the car.) I then attached the same wire to fuse 5 (climate control) but still, nothing happens.

That's about as far as I'm willing to go without some expert advice. Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this minor problem? If anyone has access to a Clifford install manual, that would be great as well!

Thanks!
